But the Dispatch also has a photo that captured the game's pivotal moment. The image ran atop the newspaper's online story, and it also was featured above the fold on the front of this morning's print section. Sure, the caption describes how Damien Brunner beat Bobrovsky for the shootout goal that won the game for Detroit, but we're far more taken by that fan in the front row to the right who's dressed as a referee. He's the one filling us in on all we need to know.
